This document does not include information about working with Veeam ONE alarms. To learn how to configure
and use Veeam ONE alarms, see Veeam ONE Working with Alarms Guide.
Intended Audience
The guide is designed for anyone who plans to use the Veeam ONE solution. It is primarily aimed at
administrators managing Veeam Backup & Replication, VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments,
but can also be helpful for other current and perspective Veeam ONE users.
Revision 1 11/16/2016 Initial version of the document for Veeam ONE 9.5.
Veeam ONE Monitor allows you to monitor the virtual environment from different perspectives:
Virtual infrastructure monitoring — Veeam ONE Monitor discovers the virtual infrastructure and
provides complete visibility of its health state and performance. With prebuilt and custom alarms,
performance charts, dashboards, reports and an extensive knowledge base, you can always stay aware
of important events and eliminate potential problems in the virtual environment.
vCloud Director monitoring — Veeam ONE Monitor provides monitoring capabilities for multi-tenant
clouds provisioned with VMware vCloud Director. A comprehensive view of cloud resources allows you to
sustain consistent processes for vCloud Director operational framework and maintain established service
levels.
Business view monitoring — Veeam ONE Monitor allows you to monitor and alert on the virtual
infrastructure presented from the business perspective — the perspective that is based on your company
needs and priorities. You can group virtual infrastructure objects by such criteria as business unit,
department, purpose, SLA and so on. Business view monitoring is enabled due to categorization
capabilities provided by Veeam ONE Business View. For more information on business view monitoring,
see Veeam ONE Business View User Guide.
Data protection monitoring — Veeam ONE integrates with Veeam Backup & Replication allowing you
to collect real-time statistics from backup servers. You can track the latest status of data protection
operations in the managed virtual environment, receive immediate alarms whenever a potential problem
can cause data loss, monitor performance of backup infrastructure components to optimize workloads
and plan capacity of backup infrastructure resources.

Each node in the hierarchy tree reflects the state of a corresponding infrastructure object. If there exist
unresolved alarms for the object, Veeam ONE Monitor displays on the node an icon of an alarm with the highest
severity.
Veeam ONE also reflects the state of child objects on parent nodes to let you easily find problematic objects. For
example, if an error alarm was triggered for a host, the error icon will be displayed on the host node. In addition,
a red downward error will be shown on the parent cluster node and on the parent management server node to
indicate that an error has occurred on the child host. If necessary, you can change Veeam ONE Monitor client
settings to display icons next to affected objects only. For details on changing display settings, see Other
Settings.
To expand/collapse all tree nodes, right-click the root node in the inventory pane and choose Expand
all/Collapse all from the shortcut menu.
To show all objects with errors and warnings in the hierarchy, right-click the root node in the inventory
pane and choose Show all error objects from the shortcut menu. Veeam ONE Monitor will expand all
nodes that have child objects with registered errors or warnings.
To hide and show the inventory pane, use the collapse/expand arrow to the right of the inventory pane.
The buttons at the bottom of the inventory pane allow you to switch between Veeam ONE Monitor views.
If you connect a vCloud Director server to Veeam ONE, the Infrastructure View inventory tree will display vCenter
Servers attached to vCloud Director and vCloud Director VMs. To hide vCloud Director VMs from the
Infrastructure View inventory, you can enable the Hide vCloud Director VMs from Virtual Infrastructure
tree option in Veeam ONE server settings. For details, see Other Settings.
By default, Veeam ONE Monitor hides the Uncategorized group for all Business View categories in the inventory
tree. To make it available in the Business View hierarchy, you can disable the Hide uncategorized objects
from the Business View tree option in Veeam ONE Monitor server settings. For details on changing Business
View display settings, see Other Settings.
Options displayed on the pane depend on the object type selected in the information pane. For example, if you
select a VM in the inventory pane and open the list of triggered alarms for this VM, all alarm actions, object
actions and navigation actions will be available in the Actions pane. If you select a storage object in the
inventory pane, some navigation actions will be disabled as they do not apply to storage objects. For more
information on working with alarm actions, see Veeam ONE Working with Alarms Guide.
In the full screen mode, the toolbar is not displayed at all, which allows you to concentrate on monitoring the
virtual or backup environment state and have only the most crucial information displayed. You can collapse and
expand the inventory pane and actions pane if necessary.
Click the Exit Full Screen button in the top right corner.

The following images illustrate how different combinations of line graphs and layer types will be reflected on
performance charts:
Auto-scale disabled
The tabs view is intended for screens and monitors in a network operations center (NOC). In this view, Veeam
ONE automatically switches between its tabs (dashboards) with a certain time interval, displaying dashboards
similarly to a slideshow. An administrator can view the whole picture without interacting with Veeam ONE, and
can be sure not to miss critical situations in case they occur.
If the tabs view is enabled, Veeam ONE starts switching tabs only if there is no user input from a keyboard,
mouse and so on. Once the user starts interacting with Veeam ONE Monitor, Veeam ONE Monitor stops switching
tabs.
The tabs view is disabled by default. You can enable the tabs view and create rules according to which Veeam
ONE must switch tabs.
You can choose to switch tabs for an object that is selected in the navigation tree. This rule can be useful
if you want to monitor the state of one critical object.
You can choose to switch specific tabs for a predefined scope of objects. This view can be useful if you
want to monitor certain aspects of a critical infrastructure segment.
2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click the necessary view — Infrastructure View, Business View,
vCloud Director or Data Protection View.
6. In the Automatic tab switching rule section, select the Switch tabs for an object selected in the
navigation tree option.

Prerequisites
Before you start monitoring the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, make sure you have configured
connections to Veeam Backup & Replication servers from which Veeam ONE will collect data. For details on
configuring server connections, see Veeam ONE Deployment Guide.
The following types of summary dashboards are available for Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure
components:
NOTE:
For proxy servers, repositories, WAN accelerators and tape servers, there are two summary dashboards:
Summary dashboards aggregate performance details for the previous week.
Monthly Summary dashboards aggregate performance details for the previous month.
Backup Infrastructure
Repository Overview
The section outlines the following details:
Type of repository
Capacity Planning
The section outlines the following details:
To forecast the value, Veeam ONE uses a trend that is calculated based on historical statistics — it
analyzes how fast the amount of free space on the repository was decreasing in the past and uses
historical statistics to forecast how soon the repository will run out of space.
Repository Overview
The section provides the following details:
To forecast the value, Veeam ONE uses a trend that is calculated based on historical statistics — it

historical statistics to forecast how soon the repository will run out of space.
This dashboard can help you detect configuration inefficiencies in your data protection infrastructure. If the same
proxy server appears to process a great number of VM disks, transfer the greatest amount of backup data and
use the largest backup window, you might need to re-balance the VM processing load across your backup
proxies. The charts may also help you reveal 'lazy' proxies that you might decide to decommission.
[VMware vSphere] You can see how many VMware backup proxies retrieve VM data from source
datastores using the Direct SAN Access, Hot Add or Network transport mode. If a backup proxy uses
different modes to retrieve VM data from various source datastores, Veeam ONE will detect its primary
transport mode quantitatively, based on the number of processed VM disks. For example, if a backup
proxy processed 10 VM disks using the Hot Add mode and 20 VM disks using the Network mode, the
proxy would be reported as a 'Network proxy server'.
[Microsoft Hyper-V] You can see how many Hyper-V proxies retrieve and process VM data in the on-host
and off-host backup modes.
The chart helps you detect the most heavily loaded backup proxies and optimize performance of your backup
infrastructure. If specific proxies are overloaded with VM processing tasks, and the tasks often need to wait for
proxy resources, you might need to deploy additional proxies or balance the processing load by assigning jobs to
other proxies.
You can use the Chart views list to view the number of VMs processed by VMware and Hyper-V backup proxies.
Mode that the proxy uses to process VM disks (Direct SAN Access, Hot Add or Network for VMware
backup proxies; on-host or off-host for Hyper-V proxies)
Number of VMs that the proxy has processed during the past 7 days
Number of concurrent VM disk processing tasks that can be assigned to the proxy (as configured in proxy
settings)
Charts in this dashboard can help you estimate the efficiency of VM data transfer over WAN links. Comparing the
amount of transferred and saved traffic, you can measure how the amount of VM traffic was reduced by means
of Veeam WAN acceleration.
Number of VMs stored in restore points transferred by WAN accelerators during backup copy job and
replication job sessions
Cumulative amount of network traffic transferred by WAN accelerators to the target destination
(secondary repositories or replica datastore/volume)
Cumulative amount of saved traffic — that is, the difference between the amount of VM data that was
read from the source location (source repository or datastore/volume) and the amount of data that was
actually transferred to the target destination (secondary repository or replica datastore/volume)
Number of VMs stored in restore points transferred or received by the WAN accelerator during backup
copy job or replication job sessions (if the same server acts as a target- and source-side accelerator at
the same time, the dashboard will show aggregate values for transferred and received restore points).
Amount of saved traffic — the difference between the amount of VM data that was read from the source
location (source repository or datastore/volume) and the amount of data that was actually transferred to
the target destination (secondary repository or replica datastore/volume).
Accelerator Efficiency
The chart shows WAN accelerators that saved the greatest amount of traffic over the past period. The chart lists
tenant or accelerator IP, the average amount of traffic the accelerator saves daily in GB, and the ratio between
the amount of VM data read from the source location and the amount of data that was transferred to the
destination.
Transferred Data
The chart shows the amount of data that the tape server transferred to tape devices over the past 7 days. The
chart can help you measure the amount of traffic coming from the tape server.
Number of VMs and computers whose data is stored in backups on cloud repositories
Cumulative amount of storage space occupied by VM and computer backups on all managed cloud
repositories
Number of VMs and computers whose data is stored in backups stored on the cloud repository
Cumulative amount of storage space occupied by VM and computer backups on the cloud repository
Capacity Planning
The section outlines the following details:
Number of days before the cloud repository runs out of free space
Amount of backup data that was transferred through all cloud gateways
Average amount of time during which the gateways were utilized over the past 24 hours
User Connections
The chart shows the most loaded cloud gateways in terms of user connections. The chart shows the number of
connections to the most utilized gateways, as well as connections to other gateways. To draw the chart, Veeam
ONE calculates how many connections were established to each cloud gateway over the past 24 hours.
Data Transferred
The chart shows the amount of data transferred by the most utilized gateways, as well as data transferred by
other gateways. The chart can help you detect cloud gateways that transfer the greatest amount of backup data
and estimate the load on gateways.
Number of users that connected to the gateway over the past day, week or month
Amount of backup data that the cloud gateway processed over the last 24 hours, 7 days or month
Amount of time that the cloud gateway was retrieving, processing and transferring data
User Connections/Sessions
The chart shows how many times the connection to the cloud gateway was established to transfer backup traffic
over the past period.
Predefined data protection alarms are configured to warn you about events or issues that can cause loss of data
or prevent Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure from functioning properly:
Connectivity issues and inability of backup infrastructure components to communicate with each other
State of Veeam Backup & Replication software installed on backup infrastructure components
Configuration issues, such as fast decreasing space on backup repositories or cloud repositories
On the Alarms dashboard, you can view triggered alarms, track alarm history, resolve and acknowledge alarms
and perform other actions. For details on working with alarms, see Veeam ONE Working with Alarms Guide.
You can track real-time job statistics at different levels of your backup infrastructure:

(backup repository or replication target datastore/volume) during the latest job run
NOTE:
The “No info” label indicates that no information is available for the job because data has not been collected
yet.
For example, if job duration has significantly increased in comparison with the average monthly duration value,
while there are no noticeable changes to the amount of transferred data, you might need to investigate the root
cause. Such a behavior might evidence that the job has to wait for proxy resources, which increases the backup
window.
To draw the charts, Veeam ONE gathers Windows Performance Monitor metrics from the guest OS of backup
infrastructure components (for this reason, performance charts for Linux-based repositories are not available).
You can track performance metrics for physical and virtual backup servers, proxies, repositories, WAN
accelerators or Enterprise Manager servers.
For performance charts in the Data Protection View, Veeam ONE Monitor supports a similar set of actions as
for virtual infrastructure performance charts: you can change chart views and set time intervals, define objects to
show on charts or select custom metrics.
By default, the chart shows the amount of processor time used to run all processes. To view what amount of CPU
resources is consumed by each backup job, backup copy or replication job assigned to the selected backup
infrastructure component, choose the Backup jobs option from the View mode list.

Axes
Performance charts display data for a particular time period (the horizontal axis) using two scales of
measurement units (vertical axes). The measurement units may vary depending on selected performance
counters. However, the number of units is always limited to two.
Graphs
Performance charts include one or more graphs. Every graph on a performance chart visualizes a specific
counter for an infrastructure object or a container of infrastructure objects.
Legend
The chart legend shows details about objects and counters displayed in the chart. The details include key
color, object name, list of counters and units of measurement, the latest, minimum, average, and
maximum counter values.
Chart views
Performance charts come with a number of predefined chart views. Every view logically groups related
counters to display the most valuable data and help you speed up troubleshooting and root cause
analysis of performance problems.
Performance charts can be easily customized. To learn about customization options, see Customizing Microsoft
Hyper-V Performance Charts.
In the Top line field, you can set a threshold value. The top line is displayed as the red dotted line on the chart
to help you monitor whether resource usage exceeds the healthy value range. If you do not need to display the
top line, enter '0' (zero) in the Top line field or disable top lines in Veeam ONE Monitor chart settings. With the
top line disabled, the Y-axis will scale automatically, to match the range of the displayed data.
To drill down to performance chart details, click the counter link above a performance widget. A corresponding
performance chart for the selected virtual infrastructure object will be opened.
Host
The following table provides information on predefined views and counters that apply to hosts.

Host
The following table provides information on predefined views and counters that apply to hosts.
Memory Swap Faults Page Faults/sec Number Page faults that occur when any
process attempts to read from a
virtual memory location that is
marked as “not present.” Zero
is the optimum measurement.
The counter displays both hard
page and soft page faults. Hard
page faults occur when a file
has to be retrieved from a hard
disk rather than virtual
memory. Soft page faults occur
when a resolved page fault,
found elsewhere in physical
memory, interrupts the
processor but have much less
effect on performance.
Memory Swap Rate Page Reads/sec Number Memory shortage; the counter
shows how often the system is
reading from disk because of
hard page faults. The counter
shows the number of read
operations, without regard to
the number of pages retrieved
in each operation. The counter
is a primary indicator of the
kinds of faults that cause
system-wide delays.
